The presentations reflect worldwide clinical and academic interest in a multidisciplinary approach that could improve the accuracy of conventional imaging methods. Molecular imaging approaches such as MRI and Nuclear Medicine are more frequently being used for breast imaging; these presentations demonstrate the clinical recognition that CTLM is gaining.
Presentations include: Medical University of Vienna/Austria: The value of CT-laser-mammography (CTLM) as an adjunct to mammography and ultrasound in the diagnosis of breast cancer Daniel Flory, MD, Thomas Helbich, MD, et al. Gazi University Hospital, Ankara, Turkey: Role of computer tomography laser mammography (CTLM) in the evaluation of breast lesions Aysegul Ozdemir, MD, et al. University of Muenster Hospital, Muenster, Germany: New developments in molecular imaging and breast cancer Chris Bremer, MD Catholic University, Rome, Italy: Primer of breast optical imaging with computed tomography laser mammography (CTLM) Simona Gaudino, MD, et al. Computed tomography laser mammography (CTLM) imaging in evaluation response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer patient: Correlation with mammogram, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging Simona Gaudino, MD, et al. Maria Sklodowska-Curie Memorial Cancer Center and Institute of Oncology, Gliwice, Poland: Pictures of anatomical vessel structures can simulate malignant angiogenesis in CT-laser mammography Katarzyna Steinhof, MD, et al.
The studies address the use of CTLM in multidisciplinary breast cancer case assessments and methods to aid interpretation. In addition, the ability of CTLM to follow response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer patients was investigated.
"We are very pleased to have so many presentations on the CTLM system at ECR 2006. The presentation of clinical research from leading medical centers and researchers reinforces CTLM's role in managing breast cancer," stated Deborah O'Brien, Senior Vice President of Imaging Diagnostic Systems. "With the increasing interest in optical imaging and the number of publications and presented results, recognition of our laser breast imaging technology's current and future applications is clearly growing."
ECR is one of Europe's best-known radiological Congresses, attracting nearly 15,000 attendees from 90 countries. The Congress features scientific sessions and presentations as well as the technical exhibition.
The CTLM(R) system is the first patented breast imaging system that utilizes state-of-the-art laser technology and patented algorithms to create 3-D cross-sectional images of the breast. It is a non-invasive, painless examination that does not expose the patient to radiation or require breast compression. Imaging Diagnostic Systems has received CE Marking, CMDCAS (Canada), Canadian License, China SFDA approval, UL listing, ISO 9001:2000- 13488 certification and FDA export certification for its CT Laser Breast Imaging system. The Company is seeking PreMarket Approval (PMA) from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its CTLM(R) system to be used as an adjunct to mammography.
